Talking Re: Recurrent dead battery

Gotta go to walmart and buy a voltage meter that plugs into the lighter outlet. See the voltage, start the car see the voltage rise by about 1 volt.

Drive the car and see the operational voltage, look for like 13.7 to 14 something when cold. If the battery is up during driving, I dont think it is, then there is a load that is a phantom. Seat controls are a good load that you cant find, ask me how I know..

TO solve problems you have to know the parameters ( voltage ) to see if and when it gets better or worse. WEEKEND enjoy, Woody.
